small words of Kindness = BIG glow of LOVE … (02/01/12)
Being a powerful “Force for Good” does not require us to do anything magnanimous or amazing. We don’t have to “save the world” or lead a civil rights march on Selma or liberate India from tyranny to change others’ lives for the better …
In our current society — one that is steeped in fear & isolation; one in which we are encouraged to “be safe”, in large part by avoiding real contact with str…angers — it has become a potent act of Love to warmly greet the people we encounter; to touch them on the shoulder, to look them in the eye, & to REALLY MEAN IT when we ask them “How are you doing?”
I have engaged this Truth many times over the past seven+ years, and it has Worked every time I’ve tried it. Simply being Kind to another person really does make a BIG difference …
It also happens to be lots of fun.
So why not give it a try today?
